We’re a day late unfortunately for day 14 #myhousethismonth which is #saturdayshelfie but we were a bit distracted yesterday. We had scaffolding put up for our new roof. We were also trying to clear out our spare room, which is full of rubbish we really should have cleared out before we actually moved! But we’re getting our new bed this week and, at the moment, we have nowhere for it to go! Turns out giant boxes that said ‘Nick’s paper work’ had pay slips from 2012 and bundles of letters/bank statements etc. I can’t believe we’ve been carting them around for years from attic to attic! It is just me who tears mine up and pops in the bin when they aren’t needed? Nick insisted on burning them so no one will commit identity fraud. I probably have about 7 fake identities out there then 🤷🏼‍♀️. He’s so sensible. .
Can we also ignore my drooping cactus on the right? It just began to drop when we moved house and I’ve tried it everywhere to see if it will stand up again, but alas, there is no hope! I will forever be the plant killer no matter how much I try 🤦🏼‍♀️

@allureethiopia The Great Green Wall is Africa’s flagship initiative to combat the effects of climatic change and desertification. The project is launched by the African Union in 2007 and aims to plant a giant wall of trees that will run across the width of the continent to stop the spread of the Sahara desert.
The initiative also aims to transform the lives of millions of people by creating a mosaic of green and productive landscapes across North Africa, especially in the Sahara and Sahel regions. Persistent droughts, lack of food, conflicts over deteriorating natural resources, and mass migration to Europe are some of the many consequences affecting the regions
.
Since the birth of the initiative, life has started coming back to the land, bringing improved food security, jobs and stability to people’s lives.
Furthermore, this 8 billion USD project intends to restore 100 million hectares of degraded land by 2030, which would create 350,000 rural jobs and absorb 250 million tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
As of March 2019, 15% of the wall is complete with substantial gains made in Nigeria, Senegal, and Ethiopia. In Senegal, over 11 million trees had been planted. Nigeria has restored 12 million acres of degraded land and Ethiopia has reclaimed 37 million hectares.
Once complete, the Great Green wall of Africa will be a manmade forest of drought-resistant trees stretching across the entire continent. The wall isn’t just for the Sahel and Sahara regions but it’s a global symbol for humanity overcoming its biggest threat which is climate change and desertification.
